Senator McCain Regrets

Senator John McCain is dying, and like a lot of curmudgeonly old men he's telling us what he thinks. This morning we see headlines that McCain regrets picking Sarah Palin for veep.

Palin gave the McCain campaign it's only real buzz.

As we recall Jonah Goldberg of National Review started the Palin train. We certainly had never heard of her. We favored the pick, if for no other reason than she was soooo hot. One cold actually see the little hearts circling above our head.

Still she clearly wasn't ready for the gig and was badly advised.

What might have been is actually an interesting alt-history scenario. Instead of being tapped for veep, Palin makes the short list, gets a lot of PR and then gives the RNC keynote address. She 's something of a sensation, makes the cover of People, gets adopted as a sort of national icon for working moms, becomes a regular on the morning gab shows, gets reelected in 2010, has a dramatic press conference in early 2012 stating she wont run for president, etc etc...the stage is really set for 2016.

On the new CNN....

...no not that one, commie pukes, #fakenews.

Now that we've made our feelings known, we understand that there is talk of a new conservative news network, dare we say CNN, being formed under the leadership of Roger Ailes.

We're pretty indifferent to Fox News to tell the truth. We'll tune into Fox Business most mornings [you just want to gawk at Maria Bartoromo-ed] do I ever...anyhoo, but we really don't watch a lot of cable news.

MSNBC should be nuked from orbit, its the only way to be sure, and well, CNN is run by a pack sex criminal apologists like Chris Cuomo who think little girls should have to see penises in the bathroom. So they're right out.

This alleged conservative news network should consider what it is trying to do. Do we really need another conservative news outlet? OK if you want. But would they rather start a real cultural shift?

We vote for the latter.

We'd like to see the new CNN be a political-cultural network in stark contrast to Fox. We'll take Hannity if we have to, but have no interest in O'Reilly.

So what do we want?'

First off, we want this to be Chatty-Gal TV throughout the morning. That means have a gal-centered morning show. Let's put Dana Loesch in charge of a round table with other gals. Well have a late morning variety show, we're not kidding, hosted by some eye candy for the ladies. Moving to afternoon we'll have a day time talk show hosted by Sarah Palin. There is no reason she can't do it, she anchored local news in Alaska.

We'll fill the next few hours with true crime, hosted by ex female detectives, prosecutors, etc, etc.

From there its a straight on news hour with a no-nonsense Joe Friday type and a nightly editorial by Robert Stacey McCain from his secured undisclosed location

Prime time will shift to more male oriented programming. At 7:00 we're going to have the CNN sports report. Like ESPN but without all the SJW convergence. At 8.00 its the CNN Entertainment hour.

We'll put Hannity at 8:00  a Dateline style show at 9:00, and groom new talent at 10:00.

Now at 11:00 we're programming a late night talk show hosted by Mark Steyn. This will focus on cultural stuff,  a throwback to the old late night shows. Music, comedy, books, dancing and the arts.

We'll have some sort of underground show at 12:00.

The overall goal here is not a news network but a cultural-entertainment Network with a news element.

Also, fuck CNN.
